Slurp your way to weight loss: Eat a bowl of soup at least once a day. Obesity is on the rise throughout the world. The result is an alarming increase in the rates of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. But nutritious low-salt soups will nourish you as they flush waste from your body. People who eat a daily serving of soup lose more weight than those who eat the same amount of calories but don’t eat soup.

Go for homemade soup whenever possible, as canned soups are loaded with salt and chemicals. For a healthy and delicious recipe, check out this Sweet Squash and Seaweed Soup recipe.
